Hah. I tried this and it got the endpoint completely wrong; it got to the correct final major road, then took the wrong exit ramp and ended at a cemetery. Um, no.

It's even funnier if I use the "reverse directions" link; instead of just heading west from the cemetery, which is entirely possible, it tells me to go east a quarter mile and then U-turn back into the westbound lane before interchanging back onto the highway.

Oh, and just for the record, nobody I know is buried in that particular cemetery, so there's no reason whatsoever for me to visit it.
